Одоздола иде ќелавиот паша,	Odozdola ide ḱelaviot paša,	From below comes the bald pasha,
нане, мило нане, ќелавиот паша.	nane, milo nane, ḱelaviot paša.	mother, dear mother, the bald pasha.

На ќелава глава црно фесче носи,	Na ḱelava glava crno fesče nosi,	On his bald head he wears a black fez,
нане, мило нане, црно фесче носи.	nane, milo nane, crno fesče nosi.	mother, dear mother, he wears a black fez.

На грбави плешчи тенка пушка носи,	Na grbavi plešči tenka puška nosi,	On his hunched back he carries a thin rifle,
нане, мило нане, тенка пушка носи.	nane, milo nane, tenka puška nosi.	mother, dear mother, he carries a thin rifle.

А на криви нозе, чизми до колена,	A na krivi noze, čizmi do kolena,	And on crooked legs, boots to the knees,
нане, мило нане, чизми до колена.	nane, milo nane, čizmi do kolena.	mother, dear mother, boots to the knees.

Translator's notes

Traditional mocking song about an Ottoman pasha. 'Нане' as a refrain addressing the mother is my reading.
